Today we will be looking at Eggs Benedict which is a popular American Breakfast option. It is basically a tender poached egg on top of a ham and muffin, topped with Hollandaise sauce.
The thing that fascinates me the most about this dish is the look and feel of the dish, it simply takes your breath away.
The perfect poached egg when punctured with a fork just oozes out running all over the plate. A delightful feeling!
But making this is not a piece of cake. It requires lot of patience and precision on your part. Nevertheless if it is done properly it will give you a pure satisfaction at the end result.
At Inspiria Knowledge Campus the Culinary Arts Students with Chef Anjani Nandan prepared this breakfast savory in their practical class.
Here we have replaced the English muffin with freshly baked bread roll and chicken sausage takes place of ham.
